This section contains recommendations of Kaspersky experts on configuring Kaspersky Endpoint Security to optimize system resource consumption. The application running with default settings may impact system performance on some devices because of the same resources being used by your applications and Kaspersky Endpoint Security. To avoid performance degradation, we recommend following the steps in this section after installing the application and completing the initial configuration.
We recommend the following steps to optimize system resource consumption by the application:
Take an inventory of devices and the functions they perform and put them in different administration groups based on those functions. For example, you can have an administration group with web servers, another administration group with database servers, a third administration group with user workstations, and so on.
Configure the application on devices according to their role in the infrastructure as recommended.
Pick 1 or 2 pilot devices in each administration group. For each device, analyze how Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses system resources and how this impacts the performance of installed applications.
If the performance of applications is significantly degraded or the amount of system resources consumed by Kaspersky Endpoint Security is critical for the operation of the operating system and applications, configure File Threat Protection and scan tasks as recommended.
You can also optimize the Web Threat Protection and Network Threat Protection components.
If the above steps helped improve performance on your pilot device, make the same changes on other devices of the same type.
